Smoky, rubbery and lightly baked smelling, but also generous and full, with berry and vanilla aromas. Feels full and comfortable, with toast, vanilla, chocolate and core berry and plum flavors. Healthy and well made as a whole; drink now through 2014. ——M.S.(2/1/2012)—— 89

Forward and spicy on the nose, but with control. In fact, this is one reserved reserva through and through. It shows lively, narrow cherry, plum and raspberry flavors and then toast and spice take over on the back end. A little sharp and tart; could benefit from further aging.——M.S.(10/1/2008)—— 87
